Chronicle In Pursuance Of Books Killing Rage: Ending Racism

One of our country's premier cultural and social critics, bell hooks has always maintained that eradicating racism and eradicating sexism must go hand in hand. But whereas many women have been recognized for their writing on gender politics, the female voice has been all but locked out of the public discourse on race.

Killing Rage speaks to this imbalance. These twenty-three essays are written from a black and feminist perspective, and they tackle the bitter difficulties of racism by envisioning a world without it. They address a spectrum of topics having to do with race and racism in the United States: psychological trauma among African Americans; friendship between black women and white women; anti-Semitism and racism; and internalized racism in movies and the media. And in the title essay, hooks writes about the "killing rage"—the fierce anger of black people stung by repeated instances of everyday racism—finding in that rage a healing source of love and strength and a catalyst for positive change.

bell hooks is Distinguished Professor of English at City College of New York. She is the author of the memoir Bone Black as well as eleven other books. She lives in New York City.

Piece Regarding Books Killing Rage: Ending Racism

An utterly useless book; 270 pages of repetitive crap that blames everything and explains nothing. Hooks constantly refers to the "white supremacist capitalist patriarchy" as the source of all her woes, despite neglecting to provide any real critique of capitalism. I assume she just throws that one in there for good measure. I came to this book expecting to learn something about institutionalised racism and sexism, but instead hooks is content with making shockingly sweeping vague statements

By rights I should not be giving this any rating because I did not read it all. I borrowed this book now and skimmed it because I'd never seen anything by bell hooks and wanted to just look at it to see what folks are talking about when they raise her name. Dense, delicious seasoned reasoning, so hard to back away from, to turn one's back on. Any objection one might raise to giving African Americans their due and proper place in the growth and history of this country, she will have a calmly

I'm so glad I picked up this book it was so informative and still really relevant to today.



I doubt I'll write a full length review for this one as I've been dealing with illness for over a month now and I'm utterly tired, but also because this was a frustrating read. I think her points are excellent and that every essay really had something that needed to be said (and more importantly heard)...but the way it's written is something had me questioning if any of it was worded out of necessity or not. I found countless instances of words over 6 syllables being used when there are

This is definitely not easy or light reading. It has given me much to consider when it comes to my own personal views and values. It's encouraged me to expand my thoughts on both racism, feminism and the intersection of them both.

hooks has a real talent for conveying complex theory in highly-readable prose. In killing rage, she argues convincingly that ignoring race doesn't make one a non-racist person (neither a non-racist white person, nor a person of color free from internalized racism.) Rather if one wants to become a non-racist person, one must commit to confronting and dismantling, consciously and conscientiously, the insidious ways in which white supremacy is institutionalized in our society.
